Chapter 1540: Baited

What was more surprising was that Yun Xuerou was suddenly surrounded by mercenaries.

She looked around and spotted Huo Yunshen and Helian Qingyu among them.

It was then that Yun Xuerou finally realized she’d been baited.

It was supposed to be her win. She could’ve tricked Jing Ruyue out and killed her, but in the end, she was actually the one being targeted.

And she had never expected that one of the people that was coming after her was someone she had raised for more than 20 years.

It was beyond her imagination that Jing Xi would actually disguise as Jing Ruyue and come in her mother’s place, and even now, she still had no idea that the Jing Ruyue standing in front of her wasn’t the real one.

Huo Yunshen arrived at the canyon as soon as he got Jing Xi’s message and had been waiting in the dark for Yun Xuerou to appear.

Realizing that things were going sideways, Yun Xuerou ordered her guards to catch Jing Xi.

As Yun Xuerou’s guards inched towards Jing Xi, Huo Yunshen ran over and stood in front of his wife.

“I’ll take care of them!” Huo Yunshen shouted.

“Be careful!” Jing Xi shouted back.

Hearing Jing Ruyue’s voice suddenly change, Yun Xuerou finally understood what was happening.

“You aren’t Jing Ruyue! You’re Jing Xi!” Yun Xuerou scolded.

That was the only possible explanation Yun Xuerou could find.

“Not bad.” Jing Xi said with a smirk.

Huo Yunshen took care of the guards that were thinking about taking his wife like they were nothing more than a couple of insects.

“Yun Xuerou! I’ll give you one more chance!” Jing Xi shouted. “Tell me where my brother is, and you won’t suffer much!”

“Do you really think I expect that you will let me go?” Yun Xuerou scolded and turned to Helian Qingyu. “Are you siding with them? Against your mother?”

Helian Qingyu was not in the plan from the beginning; it was he who had volunteered to join them.

“You better turn yourself in while you can. It’s over now,” Helian Qingyu persuaded.

“You bastard! How dare you betray your own mother! The Gods will punish you for it!” Yun Xuerou cursed.

Helian Qingyu turned away in pain and left the rest to Jing Xi.

“Yun Xuerou! It’s time to end this!” Jing Xi yelled.

Without giving Yun Xuerou any chance to react, Jing Xi rushed forwards and kicked Yun Xuerou to the ground. Jing Xi then kneeled on top of Yue Xuerou and began to slap her face back and forth.

The slaps did not stop until the blood had messed up Yun Xuerou’s face.

“Tell me where my brother is!” Jing Xi scolded.

But Yun Xuerou only replied to Jing Xi’s question with laughs.

“What? You still want more, is that it?”

Jing Xi continued to hit Yun Xuerou, but the latter was not about to give up.

“You will never meet your son if I die!” Yun Xuerou threatened while being hit.

“What?”

Jing Xi’s hands finally stopped.
